One of the problems that computers introduce is that of wrong colors. If you are into digital photography, you know that the screen colors as seen in, for example, Photoshop (even when the screen is calibrated) don't match the camera colors, and don't match the printer either! So saying a color looks close to ET factory when seen on a computer screen is not saying much. It could be way off. David did the smart thing and looked at all those open cans! Of course, the question is does the formulated yellow make the factory fresh original yellow - as seen on a part, not as seen in a picture! From: David Plamondon [mailto:roberttroll hotmail com]

Subject: Re: (ET) GE Yellow - paint mix code I should elaborate. When you get a custom color mixed, my local store puts it into the computer if you need more made at a later date. They asked for a color name. So i told them GE Yellow. So it will not show up nationally, only if you go to my local store. If you take the mix code as i listed earlier to any true value, they should be able to mix you up a quart. I did spend some time with them opening every can of yellow that they sell and none of them were close. There is no charge for the custom mix.

If you 'google' true value paint, the fourth entry down is 'true value paint-color selector guide.' I see some yellows number coded 13B7 and 13A6. Look very acceptable. Any such code on your paint? Searching 'ge yellow' didn't help me. On Jul 13, 2011, at 9:02 AM, David Plamondon wrote: My local True Value now has "GE Yellow" in their paint system. I had a quart custom mixed and it is dead on. Here is the formula for anyone who would like to have some mixed up. Only issue i can see is it will need to be thinned to be sprayed. $9 a quart.
Base - XO-D
AX - 41 Shots
C - 1oz - 8 Shots
I - 1oz - 1 Shot - 1 Half Shot
